Murabahah, salam, and istishna' are types of sale and purchase transactions that have conceptually been recognized and applied as contract options in Islamic financial institution products. The National Sharia Council of the Indonesian Ulema Council (DSN-MUI), as the authority in issuing Islamic economic and financial fatwas, has issued rulings concerning these three types of transactions, in which various hadiths on legal rulings (ahkam muamalah) are cited as the basis. This paper aims to examine these hadiths from the DSN-MUI fatwas on murâbahah, salam, and istishna' through two perspectives: the analysis of authenticity (takhrij hadith) and the interpretation of substance (meaning analysis). The results indicate that these hadiths broadly cover key principles of sharia contracts such as mutual consent (ar-ridha), permissibility (al-ibâhah), and public interest (al-mashlahah); the notion of blessings in non-cash transactions (classified as weak hadith majhul category); prohibition of debt payment delays by those able to pay; and the permissibility of salam transactions and down payments (classified as weak hadith mursal category).

This study aims to analyze the comparison of features and data integration between two mobile banking applications by Bank Syariah Indonesia, namely BSI Mobile and BYOND by BSI, in enhancing banking transaction convenience. The research method employed is descriptive qualitative through a literature review from various relevant sources. The results show that BYOND by BSI adopts a more modern data integration system using microservices architecture and open APIs, thus providing better transaction convenience and security compared to BSI Mobile, which still relies on a centralized system. Innovative features such as biometric authentication, QRIS, and a more intuitive user interface further enhance the digital banking experience for customers. However, BYOND by BSI still faces performance challenges, particularly in transaction speed, as the application experiences delays (lag) in several features that may reduce user comfort. The study concludes that BYOND by BSI is superior in facilitating banking transactions compared to BSI Mobile. It is recommended that future research be conducted using a quantitative approach to directly evaluate user experience in a more comprehensive manner.

This study discusses the Decision of the Business Competition Supervisory Commission (KPPU) Number 16/KPPU-M/2023 regarding the delay in notification of the takeover of PT Kadi Indonesia Manufaktur shares by Nippo Corporation. The acquisition transaction was legally effective on June 3, 2021, but was only notified to the KPPU on October 18, 2021, which exceeded the 60-day working limit according to KPPU Regulation Number 3 of 2020. The purpose of this study is to analyze the legal principles used by the KPPU and assess the application of Article 29 of Law Number 5 of 1999 in conjunction with Article 5 of Government Regulation Number 57 of 2010. The method used is normative juridical with a case study approach. The results of the study show that the KPPU applies the repressive principle, namely that legal action is taken after the violation occurs. Although no bad intentions were found on the part of Nippo Corporation, elements of violation were considered proven, including asset values ​​exceeding the threshold and negligence in fulfilling administrative obligations. As a result, KPPU imposed an administrative sanction in the form of a fine of Rp1 billion. This finding emphasizes the importance of business actors' compliance with the provisions of acquisition notifications and shows the need to strengthen socialization and preventive warnings to prevent similar violations in the future.

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the National Cash Social Assistance (BST) policy on the purchasing power of communities in Surabaya. BST is a social protection program launched by the Indonesian government in response to the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The policy targets low-income and vulnerable groups through direct cash transfers, with the goal of maintaining basic consumption levels and preventing a sharp decline in household welfare. This research examines the extent to which the BST program has achieved its objectives, particularly in enhancing or sustaining the purchasing power of its beneficiaries in urban settings. The study employs an evaluative approach using a mixed-methods design, combining quantitative survey data with qualitative interviews involving aid recipients and local-level implementers. The findings indicate that the BST program had a positive short-term impact on household purchasing power, particularly in meeting essential needs such as food and utility expenses. However, several implementation challenges were also identified, including issues of inaccurate beneficiary targeting, delays in distribution, and the relatively small amount of assistance compared to actual household need. These results highlight that the effectiveness of social policy is not solely dependent on budget allocation but also on the precision of its implementation on the ground. Consequently, the study recommends improvements in beneficiary data updating, enhanced transparency in aid distribution, and the development of more adaptive program designs that reflect local socio-economic conditions. The findings are expected to serve as a valuable reference for policymakers in designing more efficient and sustainable social assistance programs in the future.  

Cervical cancer remains one of the leading causes of mortality among women, particularly in developing countries such as Indonesia, where prevalence is high and early detection is often delayed. This study aims to identify and synthesize the major risk factors for cervical cancer through a systematic review of both national and international literature. The core problem addressed is the lack of a comprehensive and context-relevant risk framework for Indonesian women, resulting in suboptimal preventive interventions. The proposed method is a qualitative descriptive literature review, analyzing 15 selected scientific articles based on defined inclusion criteria. Key findings indicate that age ≥35 years, high parity, early sexual activity, smoking habits, prolonged use of hormonal contraceptives, low educational attainment, and physically demanding occupations are significant determinants of increased cervical cancer risk. The synthesis of ideas shows that biological, behavioral, social, and environmental factors interact in complex ways to influence vulnerability to cervical cancer. This study concludes that cervical cancer prevention requires a multidimensional approach that integrates education, routine screening, and increased public awareness of modifiable risk factors. The findings are expected to inform more effective and context-sensitive health policy development in Indonesia.

Early marriage is a reproductive health issue that remains a challenge in various regions of Indonesia, requiring effective educational interventions for adolescents. This study aims to analyze the role of midwives in reproductive health education as an effort to delay early marriage among adolescents at the Dambalo Community Health Center (UPTD Puskesmas Dambalo). The study used an analytical observational design with a cross-sectional approach and involved 30 adolescents selected through total sampling. The variables examined included the role of midwives, knowledge, attitudes, and intentions to delay marriage. Data were collected through a standardized questionnaire and analyzed using Spearman's and Chi-square tests. The results showed that the role of midwives was significantly associated with an increase in adolescents' knowledge (r = 0.579; p = 0.0008). However, no relationship was found between the role of midwives and adolescent attitudes (r = 0.264; p = 0.158). Regarding the variable of intention, all respondents (100%) expressed a desire to delay marriage until the age of ≥ 20 years, so statistical analysis could not be performed. These findings confirm that midwife education is effective in increasing adolescent knowledge, but changes in attitudes and intentions are influenced by other social factors that have been established previously. A collaborative approach between midwives, families, and schools is needed to strengthen comprehensive prevention of early marriage.

This study aims to analyze the legal protection for insurance customers in the settlement of policy claims at PT Asuransi Bumi Putera, with reference to Law No. 8 of 1999 concerning Consumer Protection. The main problem faced by customers is the delay in payment of claims, which is contrary to the main purpose of insurance to compensate for losses experienced by customers. Based on available data, many claims have not been paid, indicating the non-compliance of insurance companies with their obligations. This research examines the forms of legal protection regulated in the Consumer Protection Law, particularly regarding the customer's right to obtain clear information, compensation, and dispute resolution. In addition, this study also highlights the preventive and repressive aspects of legal protection, where preventive protection aims to prevent disputes from occurring, while repressive protection provides legal avenues for aggrieved customers to obtain compensation. While the law has provided a clear basis of protection, consistent implementation and enforcement are still needed to ensure customer rights are fulfilled. This research is expected to contribute to improving legal protection for insurance customers in Indonesia, as well as encouraging insurance companies to fulfill their obligations in a timely manner in accordance with applicable regulations.

This study analyzes the influence of weather conditions on the efficiency of ship maneuvering in narrow waters. Maneuvering in confined areas such as rivers, straits, or ports becomes increasingly complex due to external environmental factors, particularly weather elements such as wind speed, wave height, and current direction. The research aims to identify and quantify how these weather variables affect the time, accuracy, and safety of maneuvering operations. A combination of field observations, ship maneuvering simulations, and data analysis was used to assess vessel performance under varying weather scenarios. The findings reveal that strong crosswinds and high waves significantly reduce maneuvering efficiency by increasing turning radius and delaying response times. These results imply the need for enhanced decision-making strategies and weather-adaptive navigational planning in narrow waterways. The study provides practical insights for shipmasters, pilots, and maritime authorities in optimizing maneuver operations under adverse weather conditions.
